I tried to unmute all the controls in alsamixer. I believe that
alsactl restore is being run from the startup script as the control
values in alsamixer seem to be preserved across a reboot if I do
alsactl store prior to rebooting.

In fedora 10 I found that I had to unmute an item called "IEC958" in
alsamixer to get HDMI working. At least I think it was called that, in fc12
I now have to unmute "S/PDIF 1", even though it is the same h/w (Asrock
ION).
In fc12 I now have to run "alsactl store" to remember the settings made in
alsamixer. I didnt have to do this step with fc10.
My $HOME/.asoundrc looks like this
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "hdmi"
}
